Defending the option

[Excalibur]

Everything about the way this defense was coached to defend the option is wrong.

Tackles take the dive with help from Lbs, DEs take qb, CBs take pitchman. On a play by play basis our assignments look like crap.

WTF? Can this team handle a Texas high school team?

 

[noeynox]

If thes coaches struggle this bad with assignment defense against the option, dear lord Navy may score 1oo against us.

Don't ask trick questions.

no contain, no blitz to disrupt, no penetration

Watching our players influenced/biting on EVERY single fake, they aren't doing the jobs they were coached to do. The instant the player assigned to take the QB bites on a fake instead of hitting the qb like they were coached....it's over.

Boyle in for his single series/game quota?

no contain, no blitz to disrupt, no penetration

maybe we need a coach with a defensive background...

Didn't count 'em, but seems Army ran the option all the way down the field. Incredible!!

To be fair, it's not like Diaco faced options while at ND- oh, wait, NAVY

That he threw the ball around well. Levy FS penalty was a killer.

I looked it up, Navy scored 35, 14, 10, 34 against Diaco's defenses at ND. Notre dame's offense scored more in the last 3 games. As in 56, 50, 38.

No one is attacking and drilling the QB, we have slow DE's playing pattycake.

Good call on the qb....proof the players are UNDISCIPLINED....if you are doing your job & ignoring the pitch, you should be lighting up the qb .

For crying out loud. The simplest thing in defending the option is getting the QB to pitch ASAP. You do that by going right at him not trying to mirror him down the LOS.

we're playing bend but don't break defense.. against OBVIOUS run (triple option) plays.... unbelievable.....

Indeed, 2 high safeties is mind-blowing.

The safeties positioning is baffling

49 rush
2 pass


YEP, KEEP PLAYING THE SAFETIES DEEP

 

[zls44]

It's amazing how when we give Foxx the ball, Army knows IMMEDIATELY to swarm.

Mind boggling. Hit the frigging QB! Graham Stewart has been abused all game.

 

[nelsonmuntz]

Anyone that has played any football video game knows you have to bring your safeties up to stop the option.

terrible D against the most predictable offense we've ever played against. and on offense, I hope Tim Boyle starts next game over Chandler Whitmer. that INT was a rookie decision, still shaking my head. Whitmer is a good guy, but not the best QB for us to win games
